Re: Any opinions on Nova Viking and Voyager pillar drills?
Jason, I¡¯m with you on the Clausing, those are nice drill presses for wood working and some metal working. I¡¯m expecting to pay 2500-$3000 for one in good condition. Also trading some window work

Re: Any opinions on Nova Viking and Voyager pillar drills?
In all the time I have used this drill press I have yet to burn a blade or wood. A few buttons to push, and you can set any type of drill bit, of any size, to turn at the ideal speed for different

Max height is 35¡±, but I replaced the three wood slats with thicker versions and screwed down a 40x50-inch sheet of pre-finished 1/2¡± ApplePly to those slats. This brings the height of the cart

Joe, ??? Can you share some details regarding the crank handle?? I regularly find the handle on my Powermatic runs into the fence on the table. -- Michael Garrison Stuber

Re: Any opinions on Nova Viking and Voyager pillar drills?
Another happy owner here. Agree with others on possible improvements. Changing speeds is so easy I find that I always do it. This in my view is worth the premium price. Only complaint I haven¡¯t seen

Re: Any opinions on Nova Viking and Voyager pillar drills?
I bought the Voyager and went from adequate to great holes because now I set the speed correctly every time - it takes a few seconds. The auto-stop and depth control were a timesaver during a large
